Ok I'm gonna try this another way.
I've said before that Jesus is not God, now
I'm not sure if my grasp on the trinity is wrong but instead
Of explaining why I think I'm right I'm just gonna ask some questions. If u feel irritated by my questions then u don't have to engage in this thread just keep on trucking.
1- why does God say he is the same today and tomorrow and that he never changes if he new he would be taking on a new name and form?
2-why would God make such a point to make it so clear that he is the only God if the trinity says 3 are God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)?
3-if Jesus is God in the human form who was "in charge"
When he was an infant.
Let's start there. Anyone who participates much gratitude is given.
Best Regard

When he was an infant."
Now, I want you to forget about the Trinity and focus on what the Bible explicitly says. Remember Jesus at Matthew 16:13-17 ask His disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" This is the important question, who is Jesus Christ? Again forget the Trinity for a moment and understand the whole Bible is about Jesus Christ. I could start at John 1:1-14 and other places but I want you to focus on Philippians 2:3-8 because it clearly explains or should I say easily reconciles your questions.
It starts out at vs1-4 where the Apostle Paul is explaint to the Philippian believers to be of the same mind, spirit, love and purpose because at vs3 they were being "selfish" and only thinking of themselves and "NOT" putting others first, sort of like in a marriage where you put your spouse first. Trust me this works because I have been married 50 years coming up in March.
Paul then at vs5 says, "have this attitude in yourselves which was ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS, vs6, WHO, although (that word although means in spite of the fact) He/Jesus EXSISTED IN THE FORM OF GOD OR AS GOD, did not regard equality with God His Father a thing to be grasped. (That means that Jesus Christ who is God did not take advantage of the prerogtives of His deity that belong to Him in the first place.) Instead, vs7, He emptied Himself, TAKING THE FORM OF A BOND-SERVANT/MAN being found in the likeness of men."
Vs8 is summing up. "And being in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." In short, Jesus who is God took the form of a man (for our sakes) and died on the cross that we may live and be with Him forever. If you read further down Paul tells us (vs9-11) that all men will eventually confess or bow down to Jesus Christ that He is Lord. If Jesus Christ is just a man like the rest of us God would NOT allow us to bow down and worship Him.
The highest form of worship (I believe) was when Thomas at John 20:28 said to Jesus Christ, "My Lord and my God." Does this all make sense to you? I am pressed for time right now but I will expound further on this issue by backing up from the "BIBLE" all that I have said. You can ask any questions your little heart desires and I will gladly address them or if others here want to "chime" in go for it.
IN GOD THE SON,
